Non-members $6Katrina M. d’Autremont’s relationship to her South American family and the search to find her place amidst different cultures and generations is the subject of the 26 color prints in the seriesSi Dios Quiere (If God Wants). In his juror’s statement, Andy Adams has written this about d’Autremont’s compelling work:
“The photographs in Katrina M. d’Autremont’s Si Dios Quiere present scenarios that explore issues of intimacy within her mother’s family in Argentina. Like a shoebox of snapshot memories, her pictures depict the private rituals that comprise a family’s life: cleaning the kitchen, watching television, gathering for a family feast. Interior domestic spaces dominate and each of her family members is underscored by the place that binds them together. The house where she was raised plays a significant role and in many cases the environment is a lead character, revealing how place (and our memory of it) influences and forms us. Her home is comprised of the kinds of objects that trigger memories from each of our pasts — the blue living room carpet, that familiar tablecloth, a piano — each part of an experience shared with the members of our tribe.”
This exhibition is made possible by Silver Eye Center for Photography members and by the Allegheny Regional Asset District, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, The Fine Foundation, The Grable Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, The A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation and Anonymous.

Local Event: Daniel Cosentino [MFA 2006] talks Art Basel
Daniel Cosentino, a fellow alum, will be participating in a coffee conversation at RoCo this upcoming week. Check out the event details below.
January 17, 1pm - Rochester Contemporary Art Center
Art Basel Miami Beach describes itself as "The most important art show in the United States, a cultural and social highlight for the Americas". It has been described in the NY Times as a "An Art Costco for Billionaires", an event that arguably serves as a barometer for contemporary art sales in the world's largest market. With over 40,000 people attending annually, not including attendance to the 14 satellite fairs, public performances, museums and related art events it has become a place for many to make an annual pilgrimage and survey the scene. Join us for coffee and a conversation about Art Basel Miami Beach 2009, the art market and its effects on the arts in Rochester as artist and educator Daniel Cosentino shares images, video, information and perspectives fresh from the event.
